Text description provided by architect.
The « Kayserguet » was originally a villa located in Strasbourg (France), in the Robertsau district.
Built in the late XVIIIth century, it was supplemented with a wing in 1941 and a winter garden in the 60’s.
Aquired in 2009 by the city of Strasbourg, the intention was to transform and extend the old villa into a « space of Europeanness ».
The glazed extensions are nested in the body of the original villa, making it whole and bringing balance to the very dense existing façade.
